I`ve been giving home defence some real thought lately. Has anyone given thought to how different calibers react in the darkness of a home at night. Calibers that give a lot of flash could give you a blindness that lasts for some time because of the darkness. This would make it impossible to see anything for a second shot if needed. Secondly without ear protection many calibers shot in confined areas of your house will effect your hearing adversely. If you combine the effect of blindness with the effects on hearing plus the confusion in a situation you find with home invasion, I think it`s beneficial to choose wisely what you use for home defence. I do think it`s of even more importance to get some sort of home defence instruction. I`d like to hear some of your thoughts.
